About us
Yantai University, emerging by the Yellow Sea, is a key provincial university. It was founded in 1984 during the period of "reform and opening" to the outside world in which the State Education Committee assigned Peking University and Tsinghua University the task of sending their teaching, scientific research and administrative staff to directly help Yantai University with its construction and development. Thus, Yantai University was established with the guidance of two of the most prestigious universities in China and has since maintained a superior level of development in the process of reform.
